"Let kids put down their iPhones and go out" edition

- «Music has no intrinsic market value. It can change the world, mend hearts, and break them, but it is not an asset. It’s not even a commodity. No piece of music is more valuable than any other: it is either popular, or less so. The only aspect of capitalism available to music is its use value, which is prohibitively variable. Whatever capacity music has to interface with commerce, it is subject to the whims of fashion, and the consensus of the marketplace»: ok, messa giù così sembra un po' troppo filosofico, ma il resto del bell'articolo di Chris Ott "The Future of the Future of Music", in cui si discute di streaming e guadagni per gli artisti, tra Spotify e Beat/Apple, è parecchio interessante.
